Anyone else feel like your department would be empty if people could actually find another job right now? I've talked to so many people that seem overworked and burnt out and have become so negative toward the company. I just think with the job market the way it is they can't find something better.

I think there's a lot of truth to that. I'm not fixated on finding another job, but I've been doing this for long enough that it feels like it's time to move on. But this job market is just too uninviting. I'm grateful to have the job I've got for the time being, in all honesty.

Glad you're not in a situation where you feel like you need to leave. This job market definitely sucks.

Yes and yes! Myself included, lol. I want to leave my job so bad but it's not really feasible for me right now because I can't find anything else where I'm making as much money as I'm making where I'm at. But the culture and the vibe is not vibing.

I've been trying to leave my job for so long and am so underpaid. But this market is TERRIBLE.

My whole team wants to quit and frankly… I’ve been encouraging it. Not because they’re not fabulous, but because our agency culture has shifted (to put it lightly) and everyone’s miserable. They’ve lost their spark, and they deserve better.

I appreciate that. It’s a shit position to be in …for all parties. I want to quit too lol!

Yup, I think we all secretly hate what we are doing — have seen teams’ morale dim drastically over the past year. As we watch people leave the agency, think we all secretly envy that they found a role elsewhere.

Is anyone out there happy? Its rough.

Oh yes! It’s starting to happen to my team too. We’ve had so many people leave in the last 2-3 months, and I think more would if it was easier to find another role.

Maybe we all just need to leave so get more liquidity in the job market.

YES

It’s called a job!

Yep I’m going through people feeling entitled to everything and not putting the effort into anything
